Article Telerehabilitation Transforms Recovery: Elevating Outcomes for Lower Limb Amputees(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2026) Ozturk, BasarBackground: Telerehabilitation provides a viable alternative for individuals facing barriers to in-person rehabilitation because of transportation issues and physical limitations. It enables remote monitoring and guidance, allowing patients to continue rehabilitation at home. Objective: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation program in improving physical and psychological outcomes for lower limb amputees and to evaluate adherence to a home-based exercise program delivered via video. Study design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: Sixty participants with lower limb amputations were randomized to an experimental group (telerehabilitation) or a control group (standard care). The intervention involved a 4-week supervised phase followed by a 4-week unsupervised phase. Primary outcomes were physical capacity, measured by the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and psychological status, assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Secondary outcomes included adherence rates and patient satisfaction. Results: The experimental group showed significant improvements in 6MWT distance and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale scores compared to the control group. The mean 6MWT distance increased by 20% from baseline to the end of the supervised phase (P < 0.01) and was maintained during the unsupervised phase. Anxiety and depression scores significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Adherence was higher during the supervised phase (85%) but dropped during the unsupervised phase (60%). Conclusions: Telerehabilitation significantly improved physical and psychological outcomes for lower limb amputees. High adherence during the supervised phase emphasizes the importance of clinician support, whereas strategies are needed to sustain long-term engagement during the unsupervised phase.Article The Relationship Between Spiritual Well-Being, Resilience, and Adherence Among Patients Receiving Hemodialysis Treatment in Türkiye(Springer, 2026) Bulbul, Elif; Sukut, Ozge; Dikec, GulThis study examined the relationship between spiritual well-being, resilience, and adherence of hemodialysis patients and the factors affecting them. The data were collected from 182 hemodialysis patients receiving treatment in a dialysis center who met the inclusion criteria by purposive sampling method in Istanbul. The data were collected with the patient description questionnaire, which measures patient sociodemographic characteristics and characteristics related to the medical diagnosis, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, the Brief Resilience Scale, and the End-Stage Renal Failure-Adherence Questionnaire. Gender, educational status, employment status, and mean age of patients were found to be correlated with psychological resilience. Marital status, employment status, cohabitants, and mean age of patients were found to be correlated with spiritual well-being. Gender, number of weekly dialysis sessions, and dialysis competencies were found to be correlated with hemodialysis patients' adherence to their treatment. Hemodialysis patients' adherence was positively correlated with both the faith subscale of spiritual well-being and psychological resilience. According to regression analysis, gender and resilience explained 12.8% of the total variance of adherence. This study determined that resilience is an essential factor in increasing the adherence of hemodialysis patients.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Which Factors Affect Internalized Stigmatization in Adolescents With Mental Disorders?(Wiley, 2022) Dikec, Gul; Bilac, Oznur; Kardelen, Cansin; Sapmaz, Sermin Yalin; Kandemir, HasanPurpose: The aim of this descriptive study was to determine the factors affecting internalized stigmatization of adolescents with mental disorders. Method: The study data were collected in a university hospital between August 1, 2020 and July 30, 2021 (n = 123), using a Personal information form and the Internalized Stigmatization of Mental Illness-Adolescent Form (ISMI-AF). Results: Gender and the number of hospitalizations were determined to be independent variables with explanatory power in the ISMI-AF, and in the model created with these variables, it was determined that these variables explained 18% of the change in the total points of the ISMI-AF. Conclusions: It could be recommended that psychosocial programs are developed with the aim of decreasing internalized stigmatization and increasing the psychological resilience of adolescents.
